Blocking solution to NBA Live 2005: One of the biggest disappointments with Live 2004 was that it was too dam easy to block, well that is the same with Live 2005. I am averaging about 15-20 bpg with crapy shot blocking teams like Hawks. If you play All-Star or higher mode, computers will block you like crazy too. Here is the best solution I found so far. This works best if you play with All-Star mode.

1) Change computer's adjustable shot frequency to 100
2) Decrease both user and computer blocking abilities to 30
3) Change lay-up, dunk block abilities to 10
4) Increase in air collision to 100
The draw back with decreasing blocking abilities is that it becomes easier to make shots. To compensate for this
5) Decrease every player’s shooting abilities and three point abilities by 1 (except players on Charlotte Bobcats, Live made them worse than they really are)

In reality when a player goes up for a shot, they make every attempt to adjust from being block. Every time a player attempts a block, there is a 75% of fouling the players. These changes will compensate for these errors. Blocking will dramatically become harder and it will make computer and you think twice before you try blocking.
